Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy blah blah blah...
It's easy enough to guess whom this poem is about. " The Rape of Lucrecia" is an old painting from the Renaissance or something. I heard before that Lucrecia from Final Fantasy VII was named after her, and wanted to do a poem ever since. It is from Vincent's perspective, obviously.
Well... Read on!
A/N I just learned thanks to Lin-Hikaru-7 that The Rape of Lucrieca was in fact a poem written by William Shakespierre himself. So, if anyone reads this don't think I'm trying to be the next Shakespierre, cause my poetry's pathetic in comparison! Just wanted to let everyone know...
The Rape of Lucrecia
My soul is yours to keep
My heart was yours to take
I stared into your eyes
A cold and empty lake
---
My eyes are yours see
My tears were yours to taste
It pains you, yet you smile
Such a cruel, unfortunate fate
---
My lungs are yours to breath
My hands were yours to hold
Yet you grasped His instead
Mechanical and cold
---
My tongue is yours to speak
My conscience was yours to stain
He hurt you, he killed you
Yet you loved him all the same
---
My life is yours to live
My death was yours to endure
I wanted to draw you from darkness
With a sparkling, silver lure
---
My sorrow is yours to pity
My self was yours to love
From you, born a glistening baby
A cherubic, green-eyed dove
---
He was born from evil
He was born from hate
Born from anger
Born from rape
Willing, yes you were my love
Yet your own heart he would break
Lovingly, yes, you fell into his arms
So artificial and fake
---
I was always there for you
Standing in the shadows
Waiting for the day
When you would say
" You love me, and I love you"
---
You are gone, I know
He betrayed you
You are dead, I know
So all I can do
Is hold in this heart
So trite and true
My all consuming love for you
---
I was yours
I am yours
I will be yours
Forever
The end! I always change my style of writing at the end of a poem, lol. Well review and give me some tips, sil vous plait!
